The theme of this competition is self explainable, I think. This will be a 1vs1 tournament. Every player will have to choose a home map to play and a club from the champions league 13-14 list to represent. If the player does not choose a club, one will be randomly appointed to him.

The same map can be chosen by more than one player. Clubs can't. Only one person per club.

League Structure:First Qualifying Round: 32 games. 2 legs - maps home and away, with a 3rd leg in a random map if a tiebreaker is needed. Winners advance to Second Qualifying Round. Losers advance to First Playoff Round.First Playoff Round: 16 games. 2 legs - maps home and away, with a 3rd leg in a random map if a tiebreaker is needed.

Winners advance to Group Stage.Group Stage: Eight 4-player groups. Everybody plays everybody in the group twice, home and away. If a game ends because the 20-round limit was reached, the winner gets 2 points and the loser 1. Other than that situation, winner = 3 points, loser = 0 points. Two first in each group qualify for Last 16. If a tiebreaker is needed, a playoff will be played.Last 16: 8 games. 2 legs - maps home and away, with a 3rd leg in a random map if a tiebreaker is needed. Winners advance to Quarter Final.Quarter Final: 4 games. 2 legs - maps home and away, with a 3rd leg in a random map if a tiebreaker is needed. Winners advance to Semi Final.Semi Final: 2 games. 2 legs - maps home and away, with a 3rd leg in a random map if a tiebreaker is needed. Winners advance to Semi Final.Final: 1 game. 2 legs in the map Portugal and 2 legs home/away (since the final is in Lisbon, Portugal). A 5th leg will be played, also in Portugal, if a tiebreaker is needed. Winner takes it all.

Club placement in the elimination games- In every round, every player will be randomly placed in the games.- The only exception to the "perfect" randomization is that there can't be games between clubs of the same country before the semi finals (if there are 3 or more clubs from the same country) or the final.

Freemiums are welcome as long as they leave one free slot for the tournament.

Reserve policy- I'll send and invitation. If not accepted, the player at stake will be replaced by a reserve if the first qualifying round is being played. - If the invitation is not accepted in any other round, the player at stake will lose the game.

HAVE FUN!

Ok, for group stage, 16 people come from Second Qualifying round and 8 from the playoff round. That's 24 people. But, you say there will be Eight 4-player groups, which is 32 people. Can you clarify?

You're right, I miscalculated the quantity of players in the group stage. I'll fix it!
